We help your neighbors 2014 as you would like to be helped if your family were in need. Dear Friends of Catholic Charities: WELCOME FROM HIS EMINENCE, What an exciting and memorable year it has been to have our Holy Timothy Michael Father, Pope Francis, in New York and see the Church’s great work. I was so pleased to be able to show Pope Francis our splendidly restored Cardinal Dolan St. Patrick’s Cathedral, to join with interfaith religious leaders at Ground Zero and to celebrate Mass at Madison Square Garden. At each of those events, Catholic Charities was present. Catholic Charities Trustees, who oversee this great work, prayed with us at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Social service workers who supported mourning families and displaced worker of the 9/11 attack were at the Ground Zero prayer service. The altar, pulpit and chair and altar linens for the Mass at Madison Square Garden were made by men, women and youth that Catholic Charities assists. As impressive as these events were, I think many found Pope Francis’ visit to East Harlem particularly moving. Here Pope Francis, in a more intimate way, saw the Church, through Our Lady Queen of Angels School and Catholic Charities, so vibrant, warm and effective in “welcoming the stranger” in the name of Jesus. Pope Francis commented to me on the diversity of immigrants served by Catholic Charities. He had expected the many Latinos in the room, but was a bit surprised to meet new Americans from so many different countries and continents. Pope Francis just had a peek at Catholic Charities. I am fortunate to see the enormous scope of these services throughout the year. Ninety affiliated agencies in almost all the neighborhoods of New York serve the most vulnerable, treating each as made in God’s image. When I visit these programs, food pantries, community centers, shelters, among others, I see those served treated with warmth, compassion and dignity. In 2017 Catholic Charities will celebrate its Centennial. I take pride at what Catholic Charities has done. I am saddened that so much pain and sufferings means more still needs to be done. I am confident we will be 1 up to the task of further enhancing our help to New Yorkers in need. I thank you for your help and urge you to continue to support Catholic Charities in helping to serve our neighbors in need. Faithfully in Christ, 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 ANNUAL : TIMOTHY MICHAEL CARDINAL DOLAN ARCHBISHOP OF NEW YORK 2014 Dear Friends, As I reflect upon another year as Chair of Catholic Charities Board of Trustees, I am proud of all we have accomplished and the progress we have made on behalf of New Yorkers in need. It was an honor to be in the presence of Pope Francis, and give him the gift of a cross on behalf of Catholic Charities when he visited and blessed immigrants and refugees in East Harlem. His impact, not only on the Catholic community but on the entire world, is truly remarkable. The Papal visit inspires us to look towards Catholic Charities Centennial in 2017. Catholic Charities has come a long way in the last 100 years. When formally established in 1917 we were primarily a large caretaker for orphaned and unwanted children, proving dependent and institutional care for thousands of youngsters each year. Now almost 100 years later we serve over 300,000 New Yorkers, non-Catholics and Catholics alike, with services touching the most vulnerable, including, children and families, the hungry and homeless, the disabled and immigrants and refugees. The effectiveness and growth of Catholic Charities is made possible by the tens of thousands of trustees, donors, employees and volunteers working together with compassion, dedication and generosity. Our work ensures that the most vulnerable New Yorkers MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR are treated with dignity and have the basic necessities to live their OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES lives in dignity. Catherine R. Kinney As you look through this report, I would like to call to your attention, not merely to breath and extent of services, but to the unique 2 individuals and families touched by Catholic Charities work. These are the lives that witness to the great work done by Catholic Charities. With warmest regards, 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 ANNUAL : CATHERINE R.

  • Mother Teresa, the Angel of Calcutta
    INDIA Mother Teresa, the angel of Calcutta ©Simone Bergamaschi Calcutta, India, Nirmala Shishu Bhavan it’s the house built by Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity to welcome orphan kids and the ones with physical or mental problems. In the area there are a lot of families counting on this centre to give their children a better present. On September 4th, 2016 Pope Francis will proclaim saint a tiny nun from Albania, born in 1910 and passed away 87 years later: Mother Teresa. Just saying her name recalls immediately her minute figure, wrapped up in a white and blue sari, always with a smile on her wrinkled face. Having her name associated with the city of Calcutta (from 2001 officially known as Kolkata) is more difficult for many: it’s the place where Mother Teresa lived and worked most of her life, serving the poorest among the poorest surrounded by extreme indigence and its related violence, decay and enormous suffering. It was that immense poverty to push Mother Teresa to move to Calcutta right after completing her novitiate and her nurse education in the North Bengal. She never left Calcutta since then. Here she started to look after and cure the sick persons she was finding on the roads, founding later the order of the Missionaries of Charity and a huge number of homeless centres, hospitals and clinics dedicated to people affected by leprosy. In many occasions Mother Teresa found herself involved in controversies, but her tireless missionary activity gained more and more credibility as time went by. She also started to be supported from personalities like Lady Diana Spencer, and in 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize.

  • Mostly Sunny
    Chapter 10 LEARNING I HAVE MS, THE “MY, YOU LOOK SO WELL” DISEASE My life wasn’t perfect, but it was getting better all the time. I loved my work. I was busier than ever. Not only was 2005 the year of Ka- trina, but we had Hurricanes Dennis, Emily, Rita, and Wilma. We had so many storms, for the first time in its history, the National Hurricane Center had to go to the Greek alphabet to name them. I was working long hours and found myself feeling overwhelmingly tired. I chalked it up to lack of sleep for weeks on end and depres- sion from all the devastation we were seeing on television. Little did I know that as I was warning people of the next hurricane, my body was dealing with its own neurological storm, one that had been forming for years. I took time off and decided to go back home to Canada with Sean MostlySunny_9780062877574_final_MB1227_CC17.indd 101 1/7/19 4:23 PM 102 | MOSTLY SUNNY for a week. The first day of my vacation I woke up to numbness in my feet and parts of my legs. I felt like I couldn’t get out of bed from exhaustion. I had no idea what was wrong. I went to a doctor in my hometown to see if she could figure it out. She was blunt and honest. “This could be anything from a slipped disc to multiple sclerosis. You should get back to the US to see a neurologist.” I thought she was crazy. MS? Isn’t that the wheelchair disease? I took her advice, though.

  • Episode 3: Mother
    Episode 3: Mother ERIKA LANTZ: Mother Teresa was always traveling. Flying here. Flying there. I tend to think of her as living a spartan life, but, of course, she took planes like anyone else. Mary Johnson remembers this one time in particular: The two of them flew from Rome to Sweden. Mary was Mother’s traveling companion and assistant for the trip. MARY JOHNSON: We were going there for an ecumenical conference where Mother was going to be honored and was going to give a talk. ERIKA: They boarded the plane in their blue and white saris. Mary also packed two heavy boxes of “Miraculous Medals” -- these small religious tokens that Mother Teresa would kiss and hand out to people. Mary and Mother Teresa settled into their seats in first class. They’d booked economy, but Mary says airlines always upgraded the tickets. MARY: They're trying to avoid all that commotion that would happen if people knew Mother Teresa was on the plane. ERIKA: Mary says Mother Teresa pulled on the sleeve of one of the flight attendants and said: MARY: “All that extra food, you know, that people aren't eating, that you're going to have to throw away anyway -- could you give it to me, and I will use it for the poor?” ERIKA: The flight attendant looked hesitant, awkward. She explained they had to throw the food waste away; it was against the rules to keep it. MARY: And she said, “Oh no, just tell them Mother Teresa needs it for the poor. They won't make any fuss for you.” And anyway, long story short, eventually she went around with a big, black trash bag collecting things from people, and, of course, that's how people came to know that Mother Teresa was on the plane, and then they all started to come one by one and standing next and Mother would sign things for them and kiss the medal and give it to them and pray with them and all the rest of it.
